A communication satellite cellular coverage pointing correction using uplink beacon signal is provided. A ground-based beacon transmits a monopulse tracking signal or a Traveling Wave Coupler (TWC) tracking signal to a specialized tracking feed section located within each uplink and downlink antennae of a satellite. From the monopulse or TWC tracking signal, a pointing correction is determined for each reflector, for example, the angle off boresight and the angle between the present beam direction and the target direction. Each reflector is then gimbaled to re-point the reflector to the target area. In this way, both uplink and downlink antennae are provided with closed loop control over antenna pointing.

L'invention concerne la correction de pointage de couverture cellulaire d'un satellite de communication utilisant un signal de radiophare. Un phare relié à la terre émet un signal orientable à monoimpulsion ou un signal orientable de coupleur d'ondes passantes vers une section d'alimentation orientable spécialisée, située à l'intérieur de chaque antenne ascendante et descendante d'un satellite. A partir du signal orientable à monoimpulsions ou à TWC, une correction de pointage est déterminée pour chaque réflecteur, par exemple, l'angle de ligne de tir et l'angle entre la direction de faisceau actuel et la direction cible. Chaque réflecteur est ensuite monté sur cardans de manière à repointer le réflecteur vers la zone cible. De cette manière, les antennes ascendantes et descendantes fonctionnent par une commande à boucle fermée sur le pointage des antennes.
